Developer: Respawn Entertainment
Apex Legends is a free-to-play battle royale shooting game developed by Respawn Entertainment. It was released for Nintendo Switch in March of 2021. You can form a two or three-player group with different characters, each with their own distinct abilities, and play in a battle royale match with 20 three-player (trios) or 30 two-player (duos) teams. Once your team lands on the island, you must find weapons, armor, and ammo and work to be the last team standing. Players can form teams with their friends or randomly match with other players online.
No character can be selected more than once in a match. The map shrinks over time and the last team left standing wins the battle. The map shrinks at random points and anyone outside the safe zone suffers. If anyone is unable to enter the safe zone in time then that player dies. The distinct abilities of characters help you perform fun tasks and really make Apex stand out from other Battle Royale-type shooters.
Many popular Apex characters include Bangalore, Wattson, Caustic, Crypto, Horizon, Fuse, Gibraltar, Ash, Bloodhound, and many more. A character like Bangalore can set smoke bombs while Wattson can build electric fences around desired areas.
